Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Management chair on capital strategy & growth focus

Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Ltd (LSE:CORD) Chairman Steven Marshall talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s capital allocation strategy and growth outlook, particularly in the context of rising interest rates and macroeconomic pressures. Marshall highlighted how Cordiant Digital has strategically invested in cash-generative assets within two of Europe’s fastest-growing economies—Poland and the Czech Republic. “We can actually buy small bolt-on businesses, we can invest in organic growth, which actually is at a much lower cost than actually the buyback rates that we're getting,” Marshall said. The company has balanced yield and reinvestment, maintaining a dividend yield just under 5%, which is currently covered 1.8 times by free cash flow. Marshall explained the business has focused on acquiring quality mid-market assets with strong management teams and brand value. Looking ahead, Cordiant Digital aims to continue growing its portfolio through bolt-on acquisitions and organic investments, such as expanding distributed antenna broadband networks in Prague and Warsaw, and further developing data centre and mobile tower infrastructure in Poland. Marshall indicated the company is unlikely to pursue additional share buybacks in the short term, preferring to direct capital towards growth opportunities offering better long-term returns.

Cuscal FY25 update: profit grows on stable volumes

Cuscal Limited Managing Director Craig Kennedy talked with Proactive at AIM's Small and MIdcap conference about the company’s role in Australia's financial infrastructure and its recent financial performance for the first half of FY25. Kennedy explained that Cuscal is one of only five organisations in Australia with the full suite of licensing, infrastructure, and capabilities required to offer end-to-end payment services—alongside the four major banks. The company serves a range of clients including other banks, corporates, and fintechs, as well as working with NAB’s UBank division. Kennedy emphasised Cuscal’s position as a “neutral, independent” access point to payment infrastructure. On financial performance, Kennedy said Cuscal expects to “modestly exceed the forecast in the prospectus” issued at the time of its IPO in November. He noted that the business enjoys stable, predictable revenue and has completed significant investment in areas like real-time payments and operational upgrades. As a result, the company is beginning to see operational leverage. Kennedy stated: “Mid to high single digit volume growth will translate to low double digit profit growth.” He said H1 FY25 results showed 7% volume growth and between 12% to 13% profit growth. Reflecting on sector innovation, Kennedy described Cuscal as an "airport" enabling new players—like fintechs—to create and deliver new customer experiences on top of a stable infrastructure. He also said investors view the company as a “safe harbour,” appreciating its unique market position and stable growth outlook. #Cuscal #ASXStocks #FintechAustralia #PaymentsInfrastructure #CraigKennedy #InvestorUpdates #RealTimePayments #ASXConference #FinancialServices #BankingInnovation

Sprintex secures A$3.25m to expand global output; reduce debt

Sprintex Ltd (ASX:SIX) managing director and CEO Jay Upton talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s successful A$3.25 million capital raise, drawing strong backing from both existing shareholders and new institutional investors. Upton said approximately A$1.5 million of the funds would go toward debt reduction, with the remaining A$1.75 million allocated to accelerating production and sales of Sprintex’s new range of high-speed electric compressors. These products aim to improve energy efficiency, offering “more than 50% energy savings versus the current benchmark products”. He discussed the company’s strategic manufacturing expansion, highlighting the transition of its Malaysian facility to support electric compressor production—mirroring current operations in Suzhou, China. This move is designed to double manufacturing capacity, navigate global trade sensitivities, and better serve regional preferences. Currently in the Netherlands, Upton also outlined a five-year partnership with Mest Water, a Dutch wastewater treatment firm focused on ammonia reduction in livestock manure—a project supported by the Dutch government. Sprintex will supply compressors for this initiative. Looking ahead, Sprintex is set to exhibit at the Hannover International Trade Fair in Germany, where the company expects to attract significant attention for its clean air and vacuum solutions across industries like aquaculture, semiconductors, textiles, and agriculture.

Airtasker CEO on growth, AI & global expansion

Airtasker Ltd CEO Tim Fung talked with Proactive at AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company’s strategic focus across innovation, growth, and international expansion.** Fung outlined how Airtasker differentiates itself in the local services marketplace by operating as a community platform, where both customers and taskers set job scopes and pricing, rather than the company enforcing set rates. He emphasised Airtasker’s approach to worker empowerment, noting, *“The top people on our platform are running 150, 200 thousand dollars a year doing these kinds of jobs.”* Fung also acknowledged the challenges of the current consumer environment, pointing to Airtasker’s 14.8% revenue growth in the half as a result of lean operations and renewed brand investment. A key part of Airtasker’s strategy involves innovation across customer acquisition, user experience, and operational efficiency—highlighting its collaboration with OpenAI and use of AI tools like Copilot and Zendesk AI. Fung also discussed partnerships, including one with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, as examples of how Airtasker showcases the diverse range of skilled work enabled by the platform. He concluded by outlining the investor case: a cash-generative, proven business model in Australia being used to fund international growth in the US and UK, offering upside potential with limited downside. #Airtasker #TimFung #ASX #GigEconomy #AIIntegration #MarketplacePlatform #SmallCapStocks #TechInnovation #FY25Strategy #ProactiveInvestors #OpenAI #GlobalExpansion #InvestorUpdates #StartupGrowth
